Help! A friend, married with an infant, is subletting a co-op in Brooklyn. The owner insists that he can photograph the interior of the apt, including her things, to post on the Internet. He also insists that she must agree to five hour ‘open houses’ every Sunday, and that she and her family leave the apt for those Sundays. She is furious. I have suggested a compromise: no photos, a 2 hour open house, the family can be present; she wants the 2 hours to be on a weekday when her husband can be home and the baby is at daycare. What are her rights??

I am currently living in a rent stablized studio apartment in the West Village, New York City. I am the original tenant living here from when the apartment building went coop about 10 years ago but was not in a position to purchase the apartment at that time. I am the lease holder and can legally continue to live here indefinetely. My current rent is only $675/ month. It usually goes up about 6% to 7% for a new two year lease. The sponser of the building owns this apartment. The current maintenance is aprox. $550 per month so he is not earning much on this space. My question is, with all the news about the downturn of the real estate market they forcast, what would be a reasonable price to offer to buy the apartment I currently live in. It would be in an ‘as is’ condition. A similar apartment on a lower floor was sold about 6 months ago for 350K. I am not looking to pay market value. Any chance that this may ‘fly’?

I share an apartment with another female and we are both on the lease through October. Next month, I am getting married. I would like my new spouse to move in to my room, but my roommate is trying to charge us for 2/3 of the rent. Is there any law stating that as a married couple we only have to pay the proportional amount of rent (1/2) for the space we occupy?

I lived at my current apartment since the age of 16; I am now 38. The building recently transitioned to coop. I am now a share owner. I don’t like my neighbors there always complaining about everything, my small dog, my children. The board members are just ignorant and uneducated. I have been living at this location longer than most of the people in this building. I have out grown this place and I now want to move. What are the steps to sell out and move?

I have a date to close in my contract on my Manhattan condo and the buyer now tells me that they cannot close on that date and they are exercising their right to extend it for thirty days. Can they do this? I thought they could only extend it for 10 days. Thanks.
